1247: An early doors derby day warning there from Jamie Carragher as he clatters into Steven Pienaar with only seconds on the clock. Bit surprised he didn’t get booked for that.1246: Under way in the 213th Merseyside derby.Everton manager David Moyes: "It’s difficult to enjoy the game, but afterwards you do appreciate what you’ve been through and having the chance to manage in a game of this magnitude."1242: The teams emerge from the famous old tunnel at Anfield and we’re a couple of minutes away from kick-off.Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez: "We want to win, that’s all. The atmosphere is amazing, it’s a really good day for both teams. Form isn’t the most important thing, it’s about passion and keeping cool and trying to do the right things."From Steve, Plaistow, via text on 81111: "Some interesting debuts in prospect today… Benjani, Gudjohnsen, McCarthy/Mido, Wilshere… Not to mention that young starlet Vieira. My pick for the biggest impact - Wigan’s Victor Moses at the Stadium of Light!"1238: Hmm, Samfiske, below. A word of warning to Everton fans - there were plenty of Forest supporters who had never been so confident of winning at Derby going into last weekend’s match,only for the Reds to get done 1-0.These games; they are a law unto themselves.**From samfiske on 606: **](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A62889790)"I’m a Man Utd fan living in Liverpool (don’t ask) and I can tell you, I don’t think Everton fans have ever been more confident of beating Liverpool at Anfield."1234: Liverpool and their infamous zonal marking beware - Tim Cahill is coming to get you. The 5ft 10in midfielder is on fire with his bonce right now, with his last eight Premier League goals coming courtesy of that Australian head. In fact, you have to go back toBoxing Day 2008 for his last non-headed league goal, a scrambled winner against Middlesbrough at the Riverside.1230: Stevo’s Predos:
Liverpool 2-1 Everton
Bolton 2-0 Fulham
Burnley 1-1 West Ham
Hull City **1-2 **Man City
Man Utd 4-0 Portsmouth
Stoke 1-0 Blackburn
Sunderland 1-1 Wigan
Tottenham 3-2 Aston Villa
Lawro’s Premier League predictions1228: Might be lively at Anfield this lunchtime for the 213th Merseyside derby. There have been 17 red cards in this fixture since the dawn of the Premier League, more than any other pairing - including eight in the last 10. I don’t have a red mist graphic. Grr…From McGuireDavid on Twitter:](http://twitter.com/McGuireDavid)"Being allowed to watch/listen to/follow the coverage would be a start. Aren’t kids great"From Jackson, via text on 81111: “I’m sat in Manchester airport. My flight is due to leave at 1245 GMT to Cyprus, the same time the mighty Blues kick-off against the Reds! Good news though, flight is delayed so I can catch the first half! Come on you Blues - 2-1 to us!”**From Farslayer on 606: **](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A62889790)"These are the toughest matches to predict for a long time. Manchester United will beat Portsmouth. The other matches will be close! This will be a great afternoon for the neutral."1218: By the way, UK users - if you manually refresh this page you’ll be able to watch Football Focus at the top. Wonder what they’re talking about right now…1216: While this beast of a game gets us started today, a beast of Premier League past prepares to make his first appearance in English football sincethe 2005 FA Cup final when he lifted the trophy in an Arsenal shirt.Welcome back, the once-imperious Patrick Vieira.**1213: Liverpool **boss Rafael Benitez makes three changes for the visit of Everton, with Daniel Agger, Lucas and Maxi Rodriguez restored to the starting line-up - but there is no place for Fabio Aurelio (calf). Just the one change for **Everton **counterpart David Moyes, with Sylvain Distin preferred to Philippe Senderos in the centre of defence, as the Toffees look to end a winless streak at Anfield stretching back to 1999.1210: I know there’s plenty going on in our sport off the pitch right now, but wouldn’t it be great if the headlines this weekend were made by events on the football field I might be living in a dream world, but let’s try to make it happen. You, the people, can lead the revolution, and here’s how:
